VIII, b comes from En- gland by cable, that
the Princess Louise is seeking divorce
from Lord Lorne, caused very little surf -lse
here to those who were in any way fam
with their domestic relations during the
timel Lord Lorne occupied II deau hall as
governor general of the Dominion. To any
one who visited government house, no mat
ter whether at dinner, at a ball, or toboggan
party, the same strained relations between
the royal princess an d her plebeian consort
were most apparent-in fact, they were as
two, neither appearing to take any interest
in the other
Seldom, if ever, was Lorne seen in the
company of the princess, and when by
chance they came together he was made to
feel his inferior social position 1t is said
that it required all the tact of bis mother-in-
la w, the queen, to keep peace and prevent an
open rupture in the noble house of Argyll
Considering ali this, and the fact that Lorns
had always the reputation Of taking all the
enjoyment out of this world he could find in
it, 1t is simply matter of no wonder that be
should look for pleasure and amusement
beyond the precincts of the government
house. The hall hal no attraction for him,
and hardly a day passed. that he did not drive
into the country, sometimes alone sometimes
with one of his suite, to pass away the time
which evidently wore heavily on him. That
he admired pretty woman is generally ac-
knowledged, and i'll the selection of his few
lady acquaintance he certainly displayed
good taste. He was but human, and like
most of his sex-wlthout any reflection on
the noble house of ATgyil-he enjoyed what
the ladies would call harmless Irritation.
This recalls an incident which occurred
during his sojourn at Ottawa An attrac-
tive and extremely fascinating young lady,
among others, was invited to government
house. She was great liuguist, thoroughly
educated, and would shine in any society.
Failure in business of her father, who re-
sided In western Ontario, rendered it neces-
sary for her to earn her livlihood, which she
